Q about azure-native: KeyVault & Certificates. I’ve created a cert in a KeyVault, which I can fetch via
GetSecret.Invoke()
. But I don’t see any function to retrieve the Certificate (I need the thumbprint, for example. Any ideas?
I can get it by running
az keyvault certificate show --vault <vault> -n <certName> --query "x509ThumbprintHex" -o tsv
what would be the easiest way to do the same in Pulumi?
Oo, just found
Pulumi.Command
had a stdout. Resolves my issue.
Copy code
var getThumb = new Command("getThumb", new CommandArgs
{
    Create = "az keyvault certificate show --vault $VAULT -n $NAME --query \"x509ThumbprintHex\" -o tsv",
    Environment =
    {
        { "NAME", certName },
        { "VAULT", vault.Name },
    },
});

Retrieving the values of secrets, including certs, is not available through Pulumi since this is a data-plane operation. See this (pretty hidden) note on https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/azure-native/api-docs/keyvault/getsecret/#secretpropertiesresponse:
Users should use the data-plane REST service for interaction with vault secrets.
Glad you found another way. Using the Azure SDK would be another one.

Makes sense. And thanks for the tip on Azure SDK — I guess that makes a lot more sense that parsing stdout 😄
